  1. Thanks for organizing and representing Jordan. I was really hoping they'd use this as a cautionary example of what happens if you get caught poaching (and more specifically to this magnitude and disregard). What a toothless "punishment" for such an impactful crime. Let's all remain vigilant and protect our waters. It took a while but thanks to many of your suggestions, I now have report a poacher in my phone and have used it twice. Between education for an ignorant few not "knowingly" breaking the rules and hopefully a C.O. stick for all the rest, we can make an impact.
  2. Is that the slightest cutbow markings in the last pic? Looks like a blast BigFoamy!
  3. Sounds like a good mini winter project. Thanks Don!
  4. Dumb question, but where would one procure closed cell foam? Home Depot?
  5. Thanks for the replies all and good to know, Taco. For some reason I assumed the wiggling would cause more movement in the nut thus causing it to start to unthread. In any event, I'm glad it's nothing too insurmountable given I leave Boxing Day. I'll be sure to post a report when I get back!
  6. Thanks for the input gents. Taco, I'd say a quarter of an inch or a smidge more. Definitely enough action to be consistantly noticeable.
  7. Hi guys, Just got a new 8 wt rod for a trip coming up. When I put the reel on the rod and tightened things up, I noticed that the reel still has some side to side wiggle - It seems the slot at the top of the handle is a bit wider than the reel connecting metal. Any solutions or familiarity with such an issue? Not exactly sure how to proceed so any advice would be much appreciated. I tried re-insering several times so I'm thinking this is a mismatch rather than a break in type issue? The reel is a Lamson Konic II 4 and the rod is a Greys GS. The Greys is definitely on the starter end of the spectrum but I've had no problems with my other Greys so hope that's not the issue. Also of note, there is only one locking nut with the rod. That kind of surprised me but is likely beside the point as to why I have the wiggling going on. Kind of annoying though, not sure why that's where Greys decided to save a bit of money. Thanks in advance for any advice. Matt
  8. Absolute pitbulls of the icy water (in a good way). Cool story and unreal experience Adam, must have been awesome.
  9. Seeya buddy!
  10. Had a blast today catching these guys. Haven't quite figured out how to load pics off my Mac. Beautiful fish despite whether they should be here or not.
  11. Good job bud! Unreal fish.
